How is subliminal messaging affecting you?

Deciding What To Believe
Ziger Vault

It's no secret that subliminal messaging, and all the marketing that can stem from it, is a highly valued strategy for major corporations to master. These hidden messages, that are fabricated for financial and political gain, harbor the collective independence that many influential media outlets take advantage of today. Said media platforms are backed primarily by financial powerhouses, some of which control primary banking networks and therefore have endless power to continue funding their own agendas.

I believe that once upon a time media platforms practiced authenticity and integrity, but with the ever-so-alluring temptation of the dollar, a serious halt has been placed on these priorities. However, there are brief moments of unbiased fortune telling that seem to slip through the usual agendas. Yes, fortune telling sounds mythical and childish, but very specific events are being eluded to, and eventually some are being fulfilled in real world scenarios. Could it be just a trickling coincidence, caused by a statistical fluke? Or is it done with a purpose and intended to be decoded by those who might qualify to do so? I would prefer to believe that some very wise, genuine minds have a clear vision - to inform the public, rather than keep the people overwhelmingly shrouded in darkness. I do, though, understand that not everything is so black and white. A tremendous gray area occupies the region in between cold hard facts and blatant lies.

Having a source for meaningful news, whether it is hidden behind an alternate ego, or it is publicly available to everyone, is a key to successful research and staying informed. In a time where nations are severely divided into hundreds of equally stubborn and opposing groups, a factual conversation is hard to come by. If the ideas being fed to us through subliminal messaging were fostered and approached with an open mind, the possibility of a continental awakening presents itself in exciting fashion. More and more people are beginning to latch on to these ideas. They are dropping the popular stereotype that individuals seeking the truth, despite their methods of doing so, are not just scrambled-egg-brain conspirators.

Whether you believe in the idea that an altruistic Big Brother is looking out for us by providing snippets of truth or not, maintaining your own logistical arsenal of knowledge, relating to relevant events, ensures the safety of independent beliefs and a non-conforming platform to stand on.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
